A Virtual Tour of Green Libraries

The DC Public Library has undergone a transformation, renovating and building 14 libraries in four years.
Most D.C. residents notice the striking architecture of our new buildings and the restored historical charm of our renovated locations. But few realize that all these buildings feature design elements that support our environment and fight against climate change.
Join us on a virtual tour of some of our green libraries -- or use this as a guide to do your own citywide tour -- and discover the green secrets that each location holds!
